Abstract

In his introduction, Louis K. Meisel describes the techniques of the Photo-Realists and demonstrates convincingly that the Photo-Realists constitute a school of their own. He shows how different artists transfer images from photographic films to canvas, and illustrates with details of paintings how various effects are achieved with traditional brushes or the use of an airbrush. Every painting by each artist made before 1979 is reproduced, with complete information about mediums and technique. Each chapter closes with biographical information, a listing of solo and selected group exhibitions, and a full bilbiography.

Abstract

There are three observations that I would make about my work. First of all, and above all, I'm a sculptor, my most important concern is to get all the forms to look right. I try to eliminate faulty distortions and areas that look too flat, and those that do not register properly to my eye. Then, there is the matter of impact. I use models, oftentimes to get a maximum impact with the work, who are physically large and (to me) very sculptural, the third is one of communicating, this often takes care of itself. I express my feelings of empathy and sympathy for the subjects I portray through their weariness and despair. Duane Hanson
